Please see my posting that I made before Donnie's (message id <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>), in which I state: > > See lower down in the GLEP where it states that upstream are working on > > it, and such features would be completed sooner is Gentoo added some > > manpower.

But it really is coming in the future. After the initial checkout (which sucks on wet-string+cans as well), GIT actually uses less bandwidth than CVS, because it doesn't need to send entire files back to the server to get diffs. It just uses rsync (where available) to pull over the new files (the actual revision data files never change once committed). -- Robin Hugh Johnson Gentoo Linux Developer E-Mail : [EMAIL PROTECTED] GnuPG FP : 11AC BA4F 4778 E3F6 E4ED F38E B27B 944E 3488 4E85
